Millennial Men Willing To Relocate for Their Lady's Career

File this under: Maybe millennials won't lead to the destruction of civilization after all.

According to USA Today, The Mayflower Moving company has conducted a survey that found that more than half of millennials would be willing to move to a new city in the interest of advancing a female partner's career. (Okay, so this research doesn't come from the Pew Research Center...)

But it's not just a hypothetical question—Would you move for your wife or girlfriend's career? According to the same survey, millennials were more likely to know people who made the decision to prioritize the woman's career and move for her sake.

The numbers were lower for Boomers and pre-Boomers—you know, those demographic groups that keep reminding us of how lazy/feckless/doomed we are.

As Sheryl Sandberg and other women have noted, choosing a partner who is supportive of your goals is one of the most important career decisions you will make. It seems that millennials are doing a great job of choosing egalitarian-minded spouses and partners who are willing to make sacrifices for the woman's goals—just as women have been doing for men for generations.

One subject acknowledges that the move, while beneficial to his fiancée's career trajectory, could limit his own earning potential. He also made sure to mention that her career will not always be prioritized. (Maybe he'll change his tune when they choose to start a family?) It's what Hanna Rosin, author of The End of Men, dubbed the "seesaw marriage," an arrangement in which the roles of the earner and childcare provider are constantly changing over the course of a given week, month, or even year. She writes, "the division of earnings might be 40:60 or 80:20—and a year or two later may flip, giving each partner a shot at satisfaction."

Personally, I welcome this news. I can only hope that any potential partner would be willing to move so I can continue writing at the same coffee shop that I've been frequenting for the last few years. It's essential to my career growth.
